| Thema der Dissertation: |
My dissertation focuses on Cuban magazines published between 1898 and 1919. In the context of the island’s rich print culture, my work examines images in these periodicals to retrieve their comprehensive and sometimes contradictory understanding of the political processes that occurred in Cuba caused by U.S. hegemony, as well as this country`s role in Cuba and the Imperial Archipelago while establishing connections between them. |
